HookID

Know your catch. Fish within the rules. HookID helps Florida anglers identify a fish from a photo and instantly see the regulations that apply — size limits, bag limits, and open seasons — so you can decide whether to keep it or let it go, right there on the water. IDENTIFY BY PHOTO • Snap or choose a photo and get the most likely species, with a confidence indicator and close alternatives. • Powered by computer-vision recognition (Fishial.AI). Identification is an estimate, not a legal determination — always confirm before you keep a fish. • Your first identification is free. After that, unlock each one by watching a short video — it only starts when you tap it, and closing it early unlocks nothing and simply offers you the choice again — or subscribe to HookID Pro for unlimited identifications with nothing to watch. FLORIDA REGULATIONS AT A GLANCE • See current Florida FWC size and bag limits and seasonal closures for the identified species. • Clear "PROTECTED — DO NOT HARVEST" warnings for protected and federally managed species. • Regulation data is for reference only; verify current rules at myfwc.com. EXPLORE & LEARN • Browse 108 Florida species with photos, habitat, and identifying features. • See what's biting near you based on your location. HOOKID PRO (optional subscription) • Unlimited fish identifications — no video to watch, ever. • Catch journal: log every fish with species, size, weight, location, bait, and photos. Your journal stays private on your device. • Marine weather: tides, wind, boating conditions, and solunar bite windows. • Removes every ad from the app. PRIVACY FIRST • No account required, and nothing of yours is ever sold. • Your catch journal never leaves your device, and your photos and GPS location are never given to advertisers. • The free version shows two kinds of Google AdMob ads: a small banner, and a rewarded video that unlocks an identification and only plays when you tap to watch it. Going Pro removes both — and all ad-related data collection. • Delete everything anytime: tap the ⓘ button on the Identify screen to open About HookID, then Manage Your Data. Or use hookid.app/delete-account. Florida-first today, with more states planned. HookID is an informational tool. Fishing regulations change frequently and you are responsible for verifying current rules with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission before retaining any fish. — HookID Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Price and billing period are shown in the app before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation; it renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://hookid.app/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://hookid.app/privacy.html
